[Husker] Assistants

[Mike Jaixen]

Actually a similar situation happened last year.  It
wasn't a firing, it was a resignation.  Cincinnati's
Mark Dantonio left Cincy for Michigan State after the
regular season, so when Cincy hired Brian Kelly, Kelly
took over before the bowl season.  Kelly's assistants
coached Central Michigan in their bowl game, and then
joined Cincinnati for the Cincy bowl game.  (Those
assistants coached in two bowl games last year!)
